Tires DUNLOP or VITOUR

I love the Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 on my GT4. Amazing tires. Never thought I’d like a tire more than the Michelin Cup2.

Having run a C6Z06 nationally, I know the struggle of having wide wheels and not a lot of tire choices. If I were still running it, I'd look at the Vitour P1s.

Running them on my VW. 245/40/17. 2 autox and a track day and just worn off the sword fish in the tread.

the tires are vitour formula spec z.

Answer to your question, the "best" 200tw tire in the market right now is the Vitour P1.

I have the same set of tires and have noticed when my driveway is wet or icy it gets a little squirrelly. I did drive in a snow storm the other day and they did pretty decent, no complaints but they do kinda suck on the ice.

I've also run these tires for two winters. They are average at best for a winter. Do they get you around safe compared to all season or the oem summers, for sure. But in the world of winter tires, they have pretty bad traction on hard pack and ice.

Vitours are terrible cold and don't work well if your car doesn't generate enough heat.

Those tires came on my RAV4 and were garbage. Lasted 35K before I got new ones. After changing to new tires it made me realize how awful those were. They ride like shit, are loud and wear very fast. Won’t even buy a Dunlop tire again.

Apparently OE Dunlop tires are designed to wear into slicks down the centre and this isn't due to overinflation by the first owner of my 2021 FWD. But I will never choose Dunlops when I do replace the tires.
